At about eight weeks all was pretty good and riding without to much discomfort.
Good luck.
Sounds like what happened to me three weeks ago, except mine was a grade III separation:
Pretty sore for the first 2-3 days, not so bad after that. Still feels weird and tends to move in odd directions at times. Dr told me 8-10 weeks for full recovery (no surgery), but I'll always have the separation. 5# lifting restriction on that arm means I can't work. And I was supposed to do my ACLS re-certification this week, too.
But it could have been worse! My helmet was destroyed, but my head is fine. And so is the bike!
